6.0 E-4 System Setup
6.1 Introduction
This section provides instructions on setting up an installed E-4
system. To set up an E-4 system you need a PC running the
FreeSpace
®
system Installer™ software.
6.2 Connecting your PC to an
E-4 system
Before you can set up the E-4 system, your PC must first be
physically connected to the E-4 unit with a serial cable and then
that connection must be activated using the
Installer™ software.
1. Connect the RS-232 serial port of your PC to the RS-232
serial port on the rear panel of the E-4 unit using a straight
serial data cable.
2. Set the E-4 rear panel POWER switch to ON. When the E-4
unit is powered up and ready, the SYSTEM STATUS indica
-
tor is dark (unlit) and the STANDBY indicator is amber.
3. Press the STANDBY push button to switch the E-4 hardware
to the operating mode. The STANDBY indicator will turn off
and the SYSTEM STATUS indicator will be green. (If a sys
-
tem fault condition exists, the indicator will be red.)
Programmer’s Note: If the E-4 system experiences a
brownout or power loss, the E-4 hardware will return to
power in the STANDBY mode. To return to operation,
press the STANDBY button, or press any key on any
user Interface.
4. Launch the Installer™ software. See “Using FreeSpace
®
System Installer™ Software” on page 34 for more informa-
tion on the launching sequence.
